Think the article you read here was about the Headley Titanium blades on Amazon. I did buy them and they're gold colored. Tried them out and love them. I had recently picked up a couple 60mm titatium blades for $20.27/ea so I was impressed when I tried these 45mm from Amazon. I thought I was out of new blades but just found them the other day. Had them at the other end of the cabinet so moved them with the new ones and I'm good for a good while now. Even gave a few of these 45mm to a couple quilters to try out. At the price I could be generous.
